Intense, gripping, stylish and poignant
... View MoreIt’s fine. It's literally the definition of a fine movie. You’ve seen it before, you know every beat and outcome before the characters even do. Only question is how much escapism you’re looking for.
... View MoreThe movie turns out to be a little better than the average. Starting from a romantic formula often seen in the cinema, it ends in the most predictable (and somewhat bland) way.
... View MoreThe movie really just wants to entertain people.
... View MoreA quality film and utterly believable.Serial killer movies almost always get it wrong. They make the killer out to be Hannibal Lector or someone of his ilk: super-sophisticated and highly intelligent. In the real world they are creepy losers and the only reason they can get away with it for so long is that they kill people with no connection to them. They are always sexual deviants and sex is a main part of the motive. There is nothing glamorous about this killer and he isn't some sort of super-villain monster; he's just a really sick creature.Que Dios Nos Perdone is terrifying in its verisimilitude at every step along in the story telling process. Everything looks and feels as it should from where they people live to the police station to The music was mesmerizing, riveting, and terrifying in equal parts (but at different parts in the narrative).
... View MoreIt's so good to watch a good film with policemen, some thriller and of course the bad guys, but this time it's in an European city, Madrid. Quite better than LA, NY or the rest of exhausted American cities.The couple of actors are superb, especially the tough Alfaro, played by Roberto Álamo. Antonio de la Torre plays the partner, Velarde, a strange character that makes the game more interesting.Of course the movie is full of topics or even scenes that remind some other similar films, but it's difficult to do otherwise, because the subject has been repeatedly used as script.There are huge differences but it come to my mind a few times the film Seven. I know that this film is in all the list about the greatest films, but for this reason it's normal that all films about the subject drink a bit from it.
... View MoreWatching this movie is waste of time. Although the actors are great, really great, and the script promising of a wonderful time, the conclusion is utterly disappointing. Seems like the writer ran out of ideas, and created a finishing without any logical connection to the rest of the movie, introducing a "deus ex machine" closure. Pity
... View MoreThe most TERRIFYING movie I have ever seen. Amazing acting, film creating and directing work. Not a favorite story but definitely SHOCKING. It also reflects a moment in Spain recent history. I hope to see actor Javier Pererira in Hollywood films soon. Great Casting and Production.
